The Kennedy Center’s free Christmas Eve Jazz Jam did not take place in 2025 for the first time in more than two decades. The long-standing holiday tradition was canceled after the board of trustees voted to rename the venue the “Trump Kennedy Center,” adding President Donald Trump’s name alongside John F. Kennedy’s. Jazz drummer and vibraphonist Chuck Redd, who had hosted the concert since 2006, canceled the performance after seeing the name change appear on the Kennedy Center website and then on the building itself. The decision was announced only days before Christmas, with no replacement programming and no detailed...

Jimmy Kimmel went on UK TV to whine about Trump and 'fascism' in America: "From a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year. Tyranny is booming over here." This clown is talking to a country where the government is IMPRISONING PEOPLE FOR SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS. He of course couldn’t help but finish by bashing Americans: "We are not bright. We're Americans."

" . .In 1948, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game conducted a unique wildlife relocation project known as Operation Beaver Drop (also called "Operation High-Dive"). The goal was to humanely relocate 76 beavers from overpopulated areas near McCall and Payette Lake in northern Idaho to the remote Chamberlain Basin in central Idaho, where their dam-building could benefit the ecosystem. Traditional relocation methods—using trucks and mules—were stressful for the animals and resulted in high mortality. To solve this, Elmo W. Heter, a conservation officer, devised a plan to parachute beavers from airplanes using specially designed wooden boxes with parachutes made...

Biden, 83, shared the image of himself and seven members of his family around 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve, writing: “Wishing you a peaceful and joyful Christmas Eve filled with love.” Surprisingly, the gaffe-prone 46th president wasn’t front and center, as is common for family patriarchs.

Recently freerepublic stopped loading correctly on my Samsung phone. The spacing between lines are off and the font is too small and can't be adjusted to fit the page correctly.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he is prepared to call a national referendum on a peace plan developed with U.S. President Donald Trump, should Russia agree to a 60-day ceasefire. The potential plebiscite could determine the fate of a United States-mediated framework aimed at ending Russia’s nearly four-year invasion of Ukraine.

But he acknowledged that key issues remain unresolved. “If the plan demands a very difficult decision on...
